Thesis 54.

[ 54] The exercise of worship is one thing, the worship it selfe is another; 'tis most true that the holy exercise of all worship is here required, but most false that the worship it selfe is so: The worship it self is required in the three first commands, but the speciall exercise of all this worship at such a time, is required in the fourth Command: the ex∣ercise of holinesse and holy duties is here required as the end, and a holy rest as a meanes thereunto, and in this respect it is true which Wallaeus observes,* 1.1 viz. That it is not a bare and naked circumstance of time, but the rest it self from labour, and the application of the day to holy uses which is here enjoyned; but doth it therefore follow that the worship it self, and the holy duties themselves are here directly commanded? which he seemes to maintain: no verily, no more then that works of mercy in the se∣cond Table, are required in this fourth Command of the first Table, because the exercise of mercy and love as well as of piety and necessity is required also in this Command.
